 A thoughtful artist friend shared this gem this morning. It is a gentle reminder of my recent journey into "Passage" and thoughts of birth and death and the illusion in between.
https://youtu.be/fUZeZRZ5nmk "To be alive, fully human and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is be always in no-man's land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again. Death is wanting to hold on to what you have and to have every experience confirm you and congratulate you and make you feel completely together. So even though we say the yama mara is fear of death, it's actually fear of life." ~Pema Chodron

 Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.
~Khalil Gibran  There is a moment when words wear out and silence begins to tell.
~Khalil Gibran  The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow .
 “I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me.”
~ HARUKI MURAKAMI  Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

Is the human condition like the tumbleweed, this tossing, fringed, homeless host? Do we as a species, demonstrate complete and total openness to the facts of reality, as they are, without throwing a tantrum? It is exhausting to be in a constant pursuit of a rooted grasp, a deep-rooted connection. So why do we do it? Perhaps it is because we NEED to be connected despite the anger, depression, anxiety and the pain. It sure beats the alternative. “Tumbleweed Connection” Fine Art of Photography 10th annual juried group exhibition Plymouth Center for the Arts 11 North Street Plymouth, Massachusetts Dates: May 2 - June 13, 2020 (Exhibit will be hosted in online galleries due to Covid19) . . . . #fineartphotography #exhibition #humanconditon #covid-19  An outtake from a shoot with model and Russian professor, Irina Gnedko
at Colt State Park in Bristol, Rhode Island. The pointe shoes were a nice touch among our fine feathered friends!  “The only important elements in any society are the artistic and the criminal, because they alone, by questioning the society’s values, can force it to change.”
